Controversies

According to winner Brittani Kline, when the contestants were in Morocco, the show “started punishing girls for whenever they didn't win the challenge of the day”. She claims that the producers “said ‘since you lost and didn't indulge in the Moroccan culture, we're gonna make you indulge in the culture’. So me and this other girl had to play butcher: literally.” She recounts that “There was a bulls head, there was some like organs, some bones on a table and they're like ‘put this into this wagon’. ‘Put the meat in the fridge and then take the wagon back to where it was’”. She continued, saying “It was me and this vegetarian girl and ... she's like ‘Oh my God!’. It took both of us to lift the bull head ... but that never got on the episode.”Archived at Ghostarchive and the Wayback Machine:

During a fan meet and greet challenge, Monique was approached by a man who asked her to sign a photo and write on it that he was a good kisser. She declined but said that fellow contestant Alexandria would do it. After resisting the man's advances repeatedly, she finally gave in and let him have a kiss on the cheek. She was criticised by J. Alexander for this, who said this could lead onto “stalking”, which many deemed unfair, since she was heavily pressured by the man to do so.
